Bally's posted a loss and lower revenue in the third quarter due to losses related to a sale-leaseback transaction and also demolition costs at its Tropicana hotel towers in Las Vegas.
The Providence, R.I., casino operator and online-gambling company on Wednesday reported a third-quarter net loss of $247.9 million, $5.10 a share, compared with a loss of $61.8 million, or $1.15 a share, a year earlier. Analysts polled by FactSet expected a loss of $5.10 per share.
The net loss was driven by the company's $150 million loss on a sale-leaseback transaction related to the lease modification of a Chicago project and the $19.6 million demolition costs for its Tropicana hotel towers.
Revenue dropped to $630 million from $632.5 million a year earlier. It fell short of the $652.1 million analysts polled by FactSet expected.
Casinos and resorts revenue was down 1.6% in the quarter, while international interactive revenue also declined to 5.3%. The company's North American interactive business, which includes online gaming, had a 55% increase in revenue.
